well, a lot of people thought oh, maybe, you know, john kerry, senator john kerry. we know he has his eyes on the state department. that is right in his wheel house. but "the washington post" is suggesting that president obama is considering him to actually go over to the department of defense. now is interesting. the two men spent a lot of time together recently. you remember senator kerry was president obama's debate prep partner. he played mitt romney in all of that debate prep. that was hours and hours of time that they spent together. i think at this point some people think that maybe susan rice, the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. that she may be the top pick for state department. so perhaps this is another big position for senator kerry. but this is the time, as you know, john, of speculation and trial balloons. so you never really know. sometimes these are things that are just being floated out there. we'll have to wait and see exactly what happens. >> thank you so much, brianna keilar. it is a silly season when it comes to that type of thing. we'll get reaction

. >> what about john kerry, rumored to replace panetta at the defense department. already calling the swift boat activity, saying he threw away his medals from vietnam, in no position to be defense secretary of the united states. >> senators look out for each other. and i think it will only be strategically possible to have one target, and susan rice is the natural target because the question is not just this question of was it or was it not terrorism. the administration put out a story about the role of the video that looks like it was covering itself after the fact, a story probably knew wasn't true or good reason to know it was not true. susan rice was the mouthpiece for that. that will be litigated over and over again. don't want a second distraction -- >> i heard he wanted to be secretary of state, not secretary of defense, but president is determined to make susan rice secretary of state, there's a fall back position, if you will. >> i think again, a solid nominee. swift boat stuff aside, frankly here is a guy didn't have to go over and fight for his country

the liberals are all afraid if you make john kerry john kerry secretary of state scott brown he's sitting there in his truck in massachusetts, he's got a big fund raising apparatus he's ready to campaign. he has the ground organization ready. and he will just try to snatch up john kerry's seat. you know what? the folks in massachusetts might go ahead and vote for him just to watch him and elizabeth warren have to be colleagues together after their ugly campaign. voters have done much sillier things. i was in california when austrian weightlifter got to be governor. i think that's a really good point. i think you're seeing them doing everything they can to make sure the president doesn't even try to nominate susan rice. that explains the president's anger on an even deeper level. they want john kerry in the senate because they want a chance to pick up another seat. they're ten votes behind the democrats in the senate now and i think it's the most logical explanation possible. but we want to know what you think at 1-866-55-press. john is calling us from vancouver, washington. john, are you.

they certainly weren't falling over themselves saying we would vote to approve john kerry if nominated, but they didn't have any kind of aversion to him either. he's one of the club here in terms of the senate club. but back to this whole question of susan rice, i think as i mentioned before, i was the one who provoked senator graham and senator mccain into talking about susan rice because the question that i asked was something i've been hearing from democrats, which is this, why are you so opposed to susan rice after she made some potentially incorrect or what now seemed to be incorrect statements publicly when they supported condoleezza rice back in the bush years for secretary of state after she clearly made incorrect public statements about weapons of mass destruction in iraq. and that's what provide voloked whole discussion. it comes to a question, it seems to me, certainly they're angry and these republican senators are calling for a select committee, a watergate style committee to look into all of the issues relating to libya. but the way that this back and forth is going so an
